Topic Tuesday: What would you say to public policy makers?
The Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia (MIFA) plans to strengthen advocacy by people with lived experience of mental illness, by training people to become advocates in their community. The action is planned to coincide in part with Schizophrenia Awareness Week and World Mental Health Day. The aim will be to arm up to 100 trained advocates with messages representative of the lived experience population, to give to key policy makers.
To ensure the views and issues are representative of people with lived experience, tonight we want to work with you, to ensure we’re on track.
We want to be clear that we are very keen to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas, however, not all will be able to be incorporated into the campaign. Further consultation will be taking place, with common themes influencing the final outcome.
Please join myself and Executive Director of MIFA David Meldrum to discuss these priorities and have your opinions heard.
See you at 7pm AEDT
Please hit 'like' if we'll see you here tonight!
